Rehab to $200K: Getting Sober & Cracking the Messiest Curative Title Deals | Caleb Fairclaw

Caleb Fairclaw hit rock bottom before he ever found real estate the way he does it now. In this episode of Dirty Deeds, he sits down with Logan Fullmer for one of the most honest conversations on the show — from leaving the trades during the pandemic, to a real estate boom that collapsed overnight, into the darkest stretch of his addiction, and through the rehab stay that turned his life around.

Eighteen months sober, Caleb closed his first curative title deal for $200,000, and he breaks down exactly how he did it: tracking down a disconnected daughter, an unknown step-brother, and a homeless heir to clear title on a property nobody else could untangle.

They also talk about what recovery really means beyond just quitting, why the money felt underwhelming when it finally hit, how he's building a war chest and private-money relationships, and the new California AB 2016 fast-track probate law that's opening up fresh opportunity.

A must-listen for anyone in wholesaling, distressed real estate, probate, or curative title work — and for anyone who needs proof that it's possible to rebuild.
